Do you have any clue how many coyotes CG buys? Take them out of the picture and the coyote market goes below production costs for the majority. When a market is below production costs it's as good as dead.

IMO both Al and CG want the same thing. They want trappers to supply all their wants and desires at unrealistic prices.

Please explain why certification is even needed, when everything they are requesting from certification is already in place, like traceability, and accountability. It's not spitting in anybody's face when you just show them the information they requested is already accessible. Maybe the problem is with those that we as trappers have entrusted to market our goods ?? Both auction houses have the ability to trace pelts, and if that information was the best approach to marketing those goods, and with the current consignment agreement that all fur shippers agree to when shipping fur in place, that gives the consignment company almost complete control to market those goods at their digression , then why have not the auction houses already implemented traceability ?? The auction houses better be able to provide traceability, and if not then why are we shipping them fur to market ??

I had no idea that I "SET" the market. Does that come with braggin rights, and more important, can I sell them for anything?

I’ll believe it when I see it, just like when they were going to 1099 trappers and fur buyers a few years ago.

I've been told that 2020 is the year NAFA will start to implement traceability.

Steven, if that is true, then we are talking about a company that already has the name, address, and license information on file of every shipper they have dealt with. The very idea that it would take them two more years to implement traceability is laughable, and speaks volumes in regards as to how this company conducts business.
